While the M4 Mac Mini started at $599, the new M6 model starts at $899. In spite of that, the Mac Mini remains the best value in the Mac lineup, because just about everything costs more these days. Read our review from @superantonio64.bsky.social:

The Mac Mini is still mighty, just not as cheap

The 2026 XPS 13 has the nicest hardware you’ll find in a new $700 laptop outside of Apple’s Neo. The screen, keyboard, trackpad, and speakers are all great or excellent. It’s an exquisite package in a sleek and very thin ultra-portable. Read our review from @superantonio64.bsky.social:

HP’s 16-inch OmniBook 3 is a basic productivity laptop that regularly goes for around $520. Pre-RAMageddon, it would be nothing to write home about. But 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD in an okay laptop for around $500? That counts as good news in 2026. Read more from @superantonio64.bsky.social:

I reviewed Microsoft’s new entry-level Surface Laptop 13-inch, which now comes with just 8GB of RAM for $950. It’s the same great build and battery life as last year, but thanks for RAMageddon it costs more for less. It feels like a shell of its former self. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/966937/...
